N2 - Over the past two decades, urban violence in the eastern Congo has reached alarming levels, However, it has rarely made it to the forefront of international policy and media attention. Violent cities, Violent Societies analyzes urban violence through the lens of the acceptability of using violence and the accessibility of violence, or the ease with which violence can be mobilized. Reducing violence requires addressing both of these factors. Specifically by reinforcing control over the movement of security personnel, devising new ways to deal with offenders, understanding how violence has become normalized and engaging with those who have been involved in violence to help design programmes to engage with and raise awareness among youth.
